Rookie breakout candidate with elite YAC metrics; drafted ahead of Olave.
Egbuka is a really good player on a really good team (Kansas City) that uses pre-snap motion heavily, which boosts fantasy efficiency. As a rookie, he had 20 receptions of 20+ yards, tying him with Amon-Ra St. Brown for WR5 in that category, demonstrating explosive play creation ability; only two of those 20+ yard receptions were broken plays, showing consistency rather than luck. Baker Mayfield was willing to trust him down the field and Egbuka came down those plays consistently. He's one of nine rookies since 2000 with 20+ receptions of 20+ yards, has fantastic hands, and can excel both over the middle and down the field. Ranked in the top 10 in yards after catch per reception on middle-of-the-field targets among qualified players last year, just below Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson. The source took him in the third round of an FFPC main event ahead of Chris Olave, projecting a wide receiver six finish and 17.5 points per game.
